Living in San Luis Obispo (SLO)

Living in San Luis Obispo More Affectionately Known as SLO

Out walking and enjoying the sunshine a couple of weeks ago, I chatted to a local and I asked this question "What are the drawbacks of Living in SLO?" "mmm" he said "Real Estate prices aren't conducive to First Time Home Buyers. Apart from that, I cannot think of any other major drawbacks"
He also said "The quality of life here is great. The City of SLO allows for residents to escape to the country to go hiking, biking or just a little drive to Morro Bay or Montana de Oro State Park or the surrounding vineyards. "

 

"There are lots of outdoor activities. About a third of the population of SLO are students who add to the liveliness of this beautiful place. We live in shorts, shirts and sandals for the most part of the year. The summer temperatures are 80F to 90F generally and winter it seldom goes below 60F. The air is clean and generally its a very nice clean place to live."

"My wife and I love that we are able to walk to most restaurants, the theatre, outdoor events and then down in Hiquera Street,  the local farmers come on a Thursday evening and sell their produce."

"If there is anything that could be wrong with this area, the weather would have to be it. Its too mild!"

Well that made me smile. If this sounds like the place you would like to live, then you should be contacting me to come out and take a look at the homes I have for you. If you are a First Time Home Buyer, you are my specialty! I will show you your new home. Don't be concerned about what Dave said… I will help to find you a home!

Could Paso Robles Be Your New Home Town?.. Imagine….

Early Morning in the Paso Robles Wine Lands

Vineyards Paso Robles

…..You ease your way out of bed at the crack of dawn on this fresh spring day. You push open the windows to welcome the beautiful sunshine in. The weather is perfect and you and your loved one climb onto your bicycles and head out from historic Paso Robles over the hill and into the surrounding wine lands to take in the quiet back roads and the small friendly wineries and enjoy a day in the country. Sample California wines, snack on cheese board lunches, then wind your way along the Salinas River and home in time for a swim before sunset.

Doesn’t that sound like a wonderful lifestyle opportunity? Does Living in Paso Robles appeal to you?

Let me show you your new home.

Holiday Events on the Central Coast December 2013

San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Avila Beach Events & Things to Do

While many people in the Country are bundled up in hats and coats, scraping ice off the windshield, we are enjoying bright sunny days and dining alfresco. Can't beat CA weather!

Maybe snow does make for a more traditional Holiday season, some will argue, but many Californian's create the Holiday spirit in other ways. Whether your toes are in the sand or bundled up in three pairs of scocks, there are always fun ways to celebrate the holidays no matter where you are.

Here are some fun local events to enjoy this season.



Hearst Castle
What better way to get into the Holiday spirit than to visit one of the most breathtaking estates on the West Coast all decked out it its glory. The Hearst Castle in San Simeon, just North of San Luis Obispo, is a magical place to visit any time of year. The main house and guest houses are decorated as they might have been on Christmas in the 1920's and 30's. Day and evening tours are available to get you in the Holiday spirit.
